In the Navigator's context menu choose Refresh from Local. This instructs the
workbench to check the local file system for any edits that may have been made
without its knowledge.
<p>It is important to use Refresh From Local because if the Workbench detects
changes to the local file system it will perform any necessary
&quot;builds/updates&quot; to process the changes.&nbsp;
